Kingwood CD of Millencolin
Long time, no see. The boys from sweden show their work once more.

1992 American Built Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar

Romantic Energy from The Twelve Girls’ Band
I was very much pleasantly surprised with The Twelve Girls’ Band’s album “Romantic Energy.” Normally I am not given to listening to fusion music, and all of my previous experiences with pop-infused traditional music were unpleasant to say the best, and usually leant in one direction or another without …
Green Day - Letterbomb (Song)
Besides the two musical epics on American Idiot, Jesus Of Suburbia and Homecoming, I think that I would have to say that Letterbomb is my favorite, for lack of a better word, —˜normal’ song. I believe there’s just something about Armstrong’s vocals on this track which is brilliant and …
The Beatles - I’m So Tired (Song)
I’m So Tired is a track by The Beatles which appears on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Unlike the rest of the album, I’m So Tired is actually a very laid-back track, and as the name would imply, it has a very sleepy feel and tone to …

The Flaming Lips - Frogs (Song)

Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars

Carrie Underwood “Last Name”
I have heard this song many times and find it to be a horrible song for our youth. Miss Underwood portrays herself to be a small town simple girl with a very faith based background. Now I don’t know her denomination of religion but I but its safe to …
The Sylistics “Original Debut Album”
I am not a fan of soul music, but the reason I know of the music group “The Stylistics” is because they are one of my father’s favourite music groups and he would play their music over the years.
A couple years ago, one of my father’s good friends gave …
Shelter Of Your Love by Jimmy Cliff
Even though I like all genres of music, I have not had the opportunity to hear much reggae until I was watching the movie “Cocktail” starring Tom Cruise. There was a love scene between his character and Elizabeth Shue at an amazing waterfall and that is where I first heard …
Animal Collective - Bleed (Song)
Bleed is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their EP release Fall Be Kind. Opening with a spoken word section, Bleed soon transitions into an incredibly empty atmosphere which is both positive and negative. On the downside, I’m not a huge fan of the …
Mastodon Leviathan CD
American Metal heads Mastodon have created a style that is all their own.
Their first album, “Remission” blew everyone away with their raw, crunching and meat grinding riffs, explosive solos, throaty vocals and amazingly complex yet hard hitting drums. The sound quality was a little shoddy, but it mattered not. …

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon (1973)
Monstrously succesful, an absolute legend, constantly on the charts, Pink Floyd’s undisputed masterpiece. These could be the adjectives with which this record could be described with. Other than these, it’s probably one of those rare albums, where the concepts and ideas expressed touch not only one person, but it …
Just to See You Smile by Tim McGraw
The limits a man would go for a woman is incredible these days. Who wouldn’t fall in love with a man who would do anything for them? The man in this song is so dedicated to his woman that he would go bankrupt for her, quit a job so …
The Beatles - For You Blue (Song)
For You Blue is the penultimate track on The Beatle’s final record, Let It Be. To be honest, For You Blue was a song which I never used to listen to at all. In fact, after a long time of not listening to the song, I had completely forgotten …

The booklet that …
Green Day - Slappy
Overview —“ Slappy, Green Day’s second EP, is an EP that sounds a lot closer, and I mean a lot closer, to the sound that Green Day eventually became known for compared to their previous EP, 1,000 Hours. Whereas 1,000 Hours was honestly just filled with songs with …

Soundgarden’s Flower is an aboslute must-have for any Garden fan, or any fan of rock music! The single contains two other fantasic songs: Toy Box and Head injury.

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful Of Secrets
Overview - A Saucerful Of Secrets, Pink Floyd’s second effort, basically abandons the extremely psychedelic, experimental, and chaotic tone that made their debut record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, what it was. Although the band still does have some experimental parts, and creative at that, the mood …
Metallica - Devil’s Dance (Song)

“Mass Hypnosis” is the 4th track on Sepultura’s infamous album “Beneath The Remains”. Although this happens to be one of my least favorite songs on this album, it is still pretty dang good. Especially by today’s music standards which is pretty much all rubbish and pish posh in my …
